product focus | by Wayne Grayson WayneGrayson@randallreilly.com We're only a month away from the annual World of Concrete expo in Las Vegas, running from February 4 through 8. The international event will feature demonstrations, seminars as well as indoor and outdoor exhibits. For more information on these exhibitors, go to worldofconcrete.com or download the app, available on the site. World of Concrete MULTI-TOOL Outfitted with Allied-Gator's QuickChange MT Cracker/Crusher Jaw Set, the MT Series Multi-Tool makes for a powerful demolition combination that processes concrete, heavy cast and rail materials. The 90-degree jaw opening of the jaw set holds more material and enables the the Multi-Tool to demolish objects that are much larger than the actual jaw opening, such as concrete piers, foundations and building corners. The Cracker/Crusher Jaw Set features disposable wear components and interchangeable bolt-on tooth segments can be changed in less than five minutes allowing the operator to control and regulate material size with several tooth configurations. Cracker tooth segments penetrate heavily reinforced concrete and dense rock, and safely process cast materials. Crusher tooth segments efficiently de-rod and pulverize concrete in one bite, allowing contractors to demolish and process materials simultaneously. Finish tooth segments send a clean, flat and controlled crack through curbs and walls, reducing costly and time-consuming precision work like facing and edging. Finally, MT Rail Breaker tooth segments process rail and, as an added benefit, cleanly remove any concrete or asphalt that may be bonded to the rail. The Multi-Tool is available in sizes from 800-52,000 pounds. CONCRETE CLAW EXCAVISION Ocala Instruments' ExcaVision fits on any excavator or backhoe and eliminates the need or a helper to measure the depth of excavation. The operator can monitor the depth, slope, and width of the work without others working around deep holes. The system installs in less than one hour and a basic version can be purchased and then upgraded later with either Ocala's GPS option or your own existing GPS rover. Remove concrete from your site with the FFC Concrete Claw. Measuring 24 inches wide and weighing 575 pounds, this claw attaches to skid steers, compact track loaders and wheel loaders. It features a low profile and low mounting height allowing material transfer while boom/ loader arm supports are in use. The claw also features replaceable teeth with 1.5inch wide shanks made from T-1 steel. EquipmentWorld.com | January 2013 55
